Comparison of UWAD Tool with Other Tools Used for Preprocessing

The purpose of Preprocessing phase is to produce accurate data with speed and accuracy. Interested patterns can be discovered based on the quality of data generated after the preprocessing phase. Designing this phase taken maximum effort in the entire process of Web Usage Mining (WUM), as it focuses on reducing the quantity of data but not compromising with the quality of data. The paper focuses the implementation concerns of preprocessing phase using tool Log parser lizard and focuses on the problems faced in using the tool. It also shows the usefulness of University Website Access Domain (UWAD) tool.
